Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed January 14, 1909.

Patented Aug. 3, 1909. Serial No. 472,308.

To (LZZUJll/OTIL it may concern:

Be it known that I, OLIVER S. BOND, a citizen of the United States,residing at Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful improvements in Lavatories, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to furniture, and more particularly to toiletapparatus, and has for its object to provide an improvement over theform of lavatory stand generally termed a Soinnoe.

An important object of this device is to provide a basin having one-halfof the usual edge flange cut away in such a manner as to presenttrunnions spaced from the diametrical axis of the disposed within acircular opening 111 a table portion and be tipped by means of itsflange to empty contents of the basin into a receptacle therebeneathwithout the necessity for lifting the basin.

Other objects and advantages will be ap parent from the followingdescription, and it will be understood that changes in the specificstructure shown and described may be made within the scope of theclaims, and that any suitable materials may be used without departingfrom the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specificatiom'and in whichlike numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views.Figure l is a front view of the device in closed position, Fig. 2 is asimilar view of the device in open position, Fig. 3 is a side view ofthe device, Fig. l. is a top view of the bowl, Fig. 5 is a side view ofa modified form of the bowl.

Referring to the drawings, there is shown a stand comprising fouruprights 1O carrying three vertically spaced platforms numbered 11, 12,and 13 respectively, the first of which is carried at the summit of theuprights 10. The space between the two lower platforms 12 and 13 isinclosed on three sides by suitable walls, and the forward side isprovided with a suitable closure 14 engaged to one of the uprights l0and arranged to latch against the opposite one. A com partment is thusformed suitable to receive a receptacle as shown. The upper platform 11is provided with a concentric circular opening 15, the purpose of whichwill be subsequently indicated.

Disposed within the opening 15, there is a rim, so that the device basin20 similar in shape to the usual form of porcelain basin with theexception that the upper edge flange or lip portion 21 is entirelyremoved for slightly less than onehalf of its rim circumference as shownat 22, presenting shoulders or trunnions 23 formed at opposite sides ofthe basin. The flange or lip 21 of the usual type extends from trunnionto trunnion on the opposite side of the basin. It will l e noted thatthe point at which the trunnions are located is spaced beyond the centerof the bowl oppositely of the flange 21, so that the tendency of thebowl will always be to remain in horizontal position to retain fluid.Disposed upon the platform 12, beneath the bowl, there is a receptacle25 for receiving waste water after being used in the basin. It will beseen that the receptacle 25 is in position to receive fluid which may beemptied from the bowl when turned upon its trunnion. The dumpingoperation is accomplished by simply pressing down: 'dly upon the side ofthe bowl opposite the flange, and engaging the fingers beneath theflange 21 to lift that side of the basin. As shown a pitcher may be setwithin the bowl when not in use.

in Fig. 5, there is shown a modified form of the bowl, in which enlargedtrunnions have been formed at the radial end portions of the flange.

that is claimed is In a discharging lavatory, the combination with a topportion having a circular opening, of a basin disposed within saidopening and of smaller exterior diameter at the top of its side walls,said basin having an outwardly extending flange around its upper ed e,the ends of said flange on opposite sides of the basin extending topoints somewhat beyond and equally distant from a line drawndiametrically of said basin and being rounded to form trunnions, saidflange normally resting on said top at the edge of said circular openingto support the basin therein, whereby the basin may be tipped up :ponsaid trunnions to discharge its contents, and a waste receptacle inposition to receive such discharge.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
